Corrupt OpenOffice2txt is a software utility that provides users with a simple means of retrieving data from damaged OpenOffice documents and saving it to a new TXT file.

Surprise-free setup and clean interface

The installation process is a piece of cake, as it does not offer to download any items that are not actually necessary for the app to work properly and it only lasts a few seconds. Once you are done with it, you come face to face with a plain and simple GUI, as it only consists of a menu bar and a pane in which to display the recovered text.

Furthermore, extensive Help contents are integrated thus ensuring that all types of users can find their way around this app with great ease, even those with little or no previous experience with computers.

Save data to a TXT file and methods or recovery

This software program enables you to retrieve files in formats such as ODT, ODS and ODP. In fact, there are two methods you can try, namely a “Full recovery” and “Salvage” one. While the first attempts to get all the information stored in an OpenOffice document, the latter displays in the main window all the data it can, including text properties. Once this process is complete, you can easily save the info to a custom location on the hard drive, using a TXT file extension.

In addition to that, you should know that this tool contains an array of alternatives so as to recover your data, in case this one did not do the trick.

Conclusion

To wrap it up, Corrupt OpenOffice2txt is a pretty handy piece of software, dedicated to retrieving important information from ODT, ODS and ODP files. It does not burden the system’s performance, tasks are finalized in due time, the interface is accessible to all users and the alternatives provided offer a nice finishing touch. Nonetheless, you should keep in mind that it cannot perform miracles, as some documents are beyond repair.
